A double-blockchains based Digital Archives Management Framework and Implementation

Abstract

BlockChain have seen many significant adoptions in many sectors because of its characteristics such as tamper-proof, easy traceable, decentralized and so on. The BlockChain could be considered as a super database that cannot be tampered with, any data that does not want to be tampered can be recorded on the blockchain. The characteristics of blockchain are very suitable for the scene of digital archives protection. This paper proposes a double-blockchains framework concerning the management of archives. The framework can concatenate different kinds of isolated digital archive management systems to provide a public and dependable archive platform. The double-blockchains technology is easily integrated into the digital archives management system by calling the public interfaces of this framework. At last, we give an implementation of this framework. The experiment shows that this framework can resolve the problems encountered in current digital archive management system.
